Lee County had 106 suicides last year, according to CARE, and one occurs every 15.4 minutes somewhere in the United States.

CARES operates a Southwest Florida resource center and 24-hour phone line (800-273-TALK) for suicide prevention.

106 suicide last year..two person every week.
How can a hot line save people tangles in social/economic complicated misery?

But I admire the compassion toward other humans.

Volunteering would be a wonderful idea for someone who has a lot of time on their hands. Helping others is very uplifting.

Here comes the real help:

" Some struggling homeowners could get as much as an 18-month reprieve from their mortgage payments when a federal program starts distributing $23 million earmarked for Lee County in a few months.


Green said mortgage holders chosen to participate will get up to nine months of payments forgiven by their lender while the federal money will pay for up to nine months of payments.


Green said, “we expect to help about 12,000 homeowners” statewide with $317 million.

The money is distributed by a complex formula including factors such as how sharply housing prices have fallen in a county. Lee County is the worst in the state with a 49.7 percent decline.

Felton said the program will be able to help some people who will be able to eventually recover from unemployment or under-employment, but who would lose their homes without immediate help.

just think of all the good you could do if you put your efforts to that kind of use..instead of what you are doing with every post you make...

this place has it`s problems...but try and be one of the fixes instead of a muckracker

...did you ever hear Eldridge Cleaver`s quote " If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"

here is an article on it by Fox News

Grrr! If You're Not Part of the Solution...

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
We all know people like this: the ones who do nothing to solve problems but are there to be heard. They'll yell and scream and generally cause people around them to waste time dealing with their destructive behavior, rather than solving whatever the issue is.

These are the types of news posts that will be moved to the news thread.....I'm leaving these only because the date is old and will merge in before the first post in that new thread, resulting in some confusion....
